Seeing Spots (Quest)

Seeing Spots (Quest)

Location: Southern San d'Oria (S) (L-6

Target: Ladybug/Biddybug

Suggested Level: 70+

This is a fairly simple quest, trade 4 ladybug wings for 3k and it is repeatable. So for a stack of ladybug wings you get 9k, which does add up. Biddybugs have a better drop rate, almost around 90% from my experience, this is WITHOUT Treasure hunter also. However Biddybugs aggro lvl 75 Characters so i would not suggest doing this below 75. East Ronfaure[S] is lower level farming friendly.

I gave these guys a try today and the drop rate DEFINITELY isn't about 90% without TH After 30 mins and several Biddybugs I got away with merely 2 wings and a few beastmen's seals.

To my knowledge of the workings of TH1,2/3/4, TH affects all non rare or ex drops. While treasure hunter II affects rare and ex drops. This would explain why your seal drop rate is also as good as your wing drop rate.

Please note all efforts on verifying TH effects are still very shady, but the above explanation is what I and many others in the thf community has accepted.

Treasure hunter works by rolling multiple times for the same item. It adds one roll for each TH, up to 6 (+1 from two items) rolls per tier of drop. While this certainly gives the appearance of an increased percentage of drop, it is merely winning more times. Think of it as adding loot slots, you get 1 per drop + 1 for each TH. You can still not get anything, or could even walk away with 6 of something that normally drops once.

Update January 23rd 2009:

Teksuki of the Lakshmi server has migrated once again to Phoenix, taking the old name of "Selphiie".

A few things to note:

-The FFXIFarming Project has not been abandoned, but will take time to get things up and running again. Due to the fact that we cannot get better screenshots since I (Tek) play on the xbox360. For some reason we cannot get chatlog screenshots on the xbox.

-We have noted and will update as soon as we can, the change in the NPC sellback prices of certain items (i.e Bugard Skins, Beast Blood, Etc), and will be quick to either take them down completely or update them if the prices on the AH are worth it.
